So tempting. Want to go racing, but haven't figured out where yet. Been spoiled by the GT3 speed-wise.

Nice looking build, I really like the net on the roll bars top in case the hardtop fails. GLWS

Start with something like this. I have a 6GT3 track car and love to drive it fast and experience the speed. Earlier this year I bought a SpecBox and stated racing and have done 2 weekends racing with it. It is the best choice I could have made given I was looking at Cup Cars as the next step. You forget about the speed in a straight line, because the little car is so fast around corners. It teaches you a different, faster way to drive. Now when I drive the GT3 at tracks, I am anywhere up to 6 seconds a lap faster because of what the SpecBox taught me about momentum and cornering.

If your thinking about racing, this is the a great place to start in a modern platform.

^ Thanks, that's kind of what I'm thinking and I am also considering a cup car, but it would be a a stretch to have 2 track cars (GT3), hence my concern about going to the Spec B.

Not worried about the speed during races, as long as there are lots of folks to play with, but I'm having such a blast at the moment with the 3. If I could swing having both, there would be no harm in trying... especially if the price is right, and if I could then sell it without taking too much of a hit.

I used my GT3 for tracking until a couple of years ago when I built a spec Boxster and went club racing. Ever since it didn't cross my mind to take the (recently sold due to underutilization) GT3 to the track. If your experience is anything like mine you'll find that even with 1/2 the horsepower, just being wheel to wheel will double the fun. When speed is no longer measured in big brush ultimate terms but rather in extremely small incremental differences to the guy inches in front of you I think you'll find it far more exciting and relevant. Just my 2c.

FFaust

Absolutely agree about the thrill of wheel-to-wheel, but we have a long off-season here, so need to do many many events during the summer months before going into hibernation/withdrawal. I don't think that there's enough racing in a year "locally", hence the need for a lapping car.

To be honest though, lapping does get a bit old when my friends aren't around to play, no matter what the speed is. I should try to get a ride in one of these, cause until then it's all speculation on my part.

mmuller

I was only .5 a second slower than my previous fastest time at the Glen the FIRST time i drove the SPB there. It's a differerent way of driving. The SPB is slower in the the GT3, but hold more speed and you use more throttle and come out faster than the GT3.

I found that when I DE the at, I can still catch and pass other cars, I just have to work harder.

FFaust

What kind of times does a well driven SPB do at the Glen?

It's also a lot easier to go faster in a car worth $25 and easily rebuildable than it is a pride and joy GT3.

MUSSBERGER

That looks like a lot of value. Best of luck with the sale.

mmuller

That to. I just can't tell you how much fun they are to race. Keep both if you can so you can go back and forth. I would choose the SPB if I had to make a choice for one.

The SPB is probably the best modern porsche racing platform out there for the money. It is a great platform to learn on and raise your game. The tires and consumables are ridiculously low compared to any other Porsche.

I am building a cayman right now and am torn about keeping the SPB for the occasional race with a large field.

This here represents a serious bargain. You can't even buy all of the pieces for this asking price.
